odd idling and bad smell
I was in line at the car wash and all the sudden the car starting idling weird, hard thumps every so often. It didn't die, and I got it home ok but when I parked it I smelled somthing like rotten eggs, and my SES light came on. It wasn't overheating, the oil pressure was at 20, and the RPMs were fine, any ideas on what happened?

Re: odd idling and bad smell
Rotten egg snell usually = plugged catalytic converter.

Re: odd idling and bad smell
That's what I was thinking, but would that cause the odd idle?

Re: odd idling and bad smell
As he said, a plugged cat...most likely cutting airflow.
